  • You may have to have an experienced installer check out your work. You are having multiple issues that seem to go beyond your skill level. It would suck the shitter if you burnt your car to the ground

Did you blow the fuse when you were screwing around with the battery connected?

I put in a different one

In the amp, and the inline?

I thought you didn't have any more questions? Where did this come from? Just check your wiring. I have a itchy feeling the problem relies there. Also, with such a none constructed question, it will be hard to help you. Read over your question before posting, ask yourself if this is an understandable question, put yourself in somebody else's shoes and see if you would be able to get a legit answer.

For example:

Hi guys, I have another issue, need some trouble shooting steps to ensure my amps works. Could anybody assist. I have X amp, using X headunit in X vehcile. I have done X amount of things up to this point.

And before posting, please follow some basic, basic troubleshooting steps yourself by simply going over your own work more than twice. More times than not, it is simply something you missed. Like a blown fuse somewhere, or miss wiring, it could be anything. Hell even a loose remote wire could be the issue, or a simple master/slave switch on amp.

Fuses in amp are good

I hope it was from maybe not having sanded down the ground enough

Unless it's a rusty P.O.S. spot, that's probably NOT the case. You have a DMM right?

Ontop of what everyone has already said, check to see if you have voltage in the remote turn on wire for the amp

Im pretty sure i wired it up right

Could you explain out of phase?

Being out of phase means your woofers aren't firing at the same time which causes cancellation.

and that cannot be right

If I may.. www.the12volt.com This site could help you out with your issues.

your not metering Ac .. your trying to check for DC voltage,

your not metering Ac .. your trying to check for DC voltage,

For remote/power wire he wants DC, but for speaker output he wants AC
